Review: Had it for 5 years now. No issues. Paid 129 back then. Darn inflation. Edit - July 2025- Had a lightning strike right next to my home that fried a lot of things, but this thing is still working perfectly. I have no reason to give a good review other than it's a rare exception compared to a lot of items. My bluetti power station bricked in my garage at the opposite end of the house. Both me and this HD were prob. 20 yards from the strike, that hit just outside my home. The strike blasted the phone (twisted pairs) box lid right off. The power station was around 50 yards away. I do realize, I dodged a bullet not losing this and more. Thinking of getting another one. It was plugged into a computer at the time. They say you should have important files that you keep on a drive unteathered to the grid. Can't speak to why it wants to back up whatever computer I happen to be on at the time. It's nice that it does that, but I usually erase it and we start the dance all over again. I only store on it what I want, not what it wants... :P
Review: I spent 5 to 7 hours attempting to configure this drive to my 2018 MacBook Pro. I also called the company support. Bottom line is drive dismounts EACH AND EVERY TIME you shut down the Mac. DISMOUNTS EACH TIME YOU CLOSE THE LID. The product literature states that it is compatible with Macs. The support person said it hasn’t worked properly with Macs since 2013. Info on box, on desertcart and Company website is not correct. The unit does not work well with newer Macbooks. Granted the installed base of Macs is far smaller than PC’s. And granted that Macs have their issues. Simple truth is it’s a small company that does not have the resources to support the drive’s use with Macs. A very nice little drive as to footprint, but a total waste of you time and money if you are thinking of using with a Mac. Do not buy if you are seeking a compatible drive for the Mac. In fairness to the Company, I did first try the external Samsung ssd that Apple sells in its stores. The Samsung is far worse, not compatible with Mac. My take is the drive might be ok for pc as pc’s are more broadly supported. Also, the reviews mentioning the frail cable and connector are accurate. Further to that, Apple advises to use the Lightning To USB C dongle that is $20. The drive maker claims there is a drive to lightning cable but they can ‘t provide it or tell where to buy it. Support also tried to blame the Apple adapter. I challenged that as the adapter works with my 20 year old printer, my 8 year old ROM and the new stuff as well. Dongle is fine, it’s the drive. Again I fairness to the Company, even large Companies do not support Mac well. Logmein in and GOTOMYPC do not work well on new Macs/Mojave.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by P***S on 8 September 2019*

[Edited] I bought the 1TB version of this product for video editing purposes, and on arrival, found it to be woefully slow - less than 10% as fast as expected. I returned it, and was then offered a free 512GB model instead. Once that arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the rated speed was much higher - as high as 350MB/s read and write when formatted as exFAT. After filling up the drive about 90% full, the write speed dropped significantly (to 34MB/s) but the read speed stayed fairly high. Both drives were lightweight, drop resistant, and came with nice USB-A and USB-C cables. [Original] The description for this product lists it as a 1TB SSD with up to 450MB/s transfer speeds. When tested on multiple different computers, via both USB-A and USB-C (and formatted as both exFAT and HFS+), the fastest possible read and write speeds I could get were around 43MB/s - less than 10% of the rated speed. This is worse performance than I've seen from a single SD card, let alone an SSD that costs more than $100.
